This law defines words used in a chapter about wage laws for government contractors. It says "employer" and "employee" mean the contractor and its workers. It also defines the Walsh-Healey Act, the Bacon-Davis Act, and "State."

(a) When this chapter uses the words "employer," "employee," and "wage" in connection with the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, those words mean the same thing they mean in that 1938 Act. (b) When this chapter uses the word "employer" in connection with the Walsh-Healey Act or the Bacon-Davis Act, it means the contractor or subcontractor that Act covers. (c) When this chapter uses the word "employee" in connection with the Walsh-Healey Act or the Bacon-Davis Act, it means anyone that covered contractor or subcontractor employs to do the contract or subcontract work. (d) The "Walsh-Healey Act" is the law approved June 30, 1936, that sets conditions for the government buying supplies and making contracts, as later amended. The "Bacon-Davis Act" is the law approved August 30, 1935, that amends an earlier 1931 law about wage rates for laborers and mechanics working for contractors and subcontractors on public buildings, as later amended. (e) As the word "State" is used in section 255 of this title, it means any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any U.S. territory or possession.
